Welcome to Movement for the Promotion of Gender Equality in Liberia (MOPGEL), a United States–based 501 © (3) nonprofit organization working in Liberia in West Africa.

Here at MOPGEL, we’re leading a campaign title, “Linking human rights and poverty”. In this campaign, we see poverty as a direct human rights violation, thus, we view poverty as both a cause and a result of abuse.

Research shows that Poverty destroys access to essential needs like food, clean water, housing, and healthcare. Poverty as well, limits a person’s voice, safety, and right to fair treatment or political choice.

People living in poverty often face social stigma, discrimination, and exploitation that block them from using public resources.

What Solution can the nonprofit community and governments around the World put in place to help those living in poverty escape their poverty paths?

MOPGEL sees empowerment, teaching people about their fundamental rights, so that they demand better public services and accountability. Empower communities by building more schools, medical healthcare centers and housing for poor people.

To help people escape poverty paths, phase one of our campaign which will focus on training of trainers, is divided into four projects as mentioned below:

1. The Advocacy Media

2. Education for All Campaign

3. Indigenous/Housing

4. Medical healthcare

MOPGEL is inspiring local and international volunteers, partnerships, and people of goodwill to join this campaign to help the nonprofit sustain these projects.
